As We Reported ‘Gambit’ Is Still Alive and Courting Directors – Simon Kinberg Confirms

Back in February, despite losing another director, we reported that Gambit was still moving forward with a summer shoot and in late March that it would begin filming on June 19th in New Orleans. The first concrete sign the X-Men spinoff was still kicking and going to move ahead, while plenty of outlets were calling it a dead project. We suggested in the piece that Fox was already meeting with directors.

This would be somewhat backed up by THR in February stating a script was being completed for March.
